Dear Jeff,
How I miss you so..I finally enjoy the nights when all is quiet, that is when I can feel your presence the most.You are close to me, you will never leave my heart..

I'll miss seeing Jeff at tradeshows and customer meetings. He's a great guy. The good news is, we'll all get to see him again.

Dad:
This one is for YOU and YOU only. I never understood a deeper meaning of this song that we shared when we both felt at our worst...together. However, you loved this song and now I know why. You CAN see clearly now and that is what makes me sleep. I love you and I miss you more than the day I found out of the nightmare. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I can't wait to hug you and see that you finally saw the rainbow you were praying for. :) You are in peace. God is LOVE. HE doesn't do ANYTHING cruel. You fell alseep not of anything mean or unexplainable. You had to fall alseep because YOU got lucky :) Dad, many sleeplessness nights only brings me to understand this one fact: YOU WERE SELFLESS. Now, YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY. You are in peace. Enjoy the vacation :)

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Today is a specail day for us, 29 years ago, the doctor gave us the due date of Feb 14 when Josh and Renee were to be born, They decided to wait another week for their grand arrival, It was too cold on February 14 1980, Neither of them still likes the cold :). May you enjoy the warmth of the heavens, We miss and love you deeply

Jeff,
You were a dear close friend and a brother in every sense of the word. I will always remember our friendship. Please rest in peace.

Jeff,
With each day that passes, I find that I miss you more and more each day. I know you are watching us from heaven above, and I think of that often with every move I make. I will love and miss you as long as I breathe on this earth.

Walter, Lorraine, Johnathan and Jason
You all are such a wonderful family. Each and everyone of you are special in your own way. I only meet Jeff a couple of times but I felt like I known him for a long time from all the stories you shared with me.
Jason and Renee - what little I knew of your father he seemed to be a special person. I know you will miss him deeply but you will join him one day.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers and love you all so much.

Jeff,
Though I had only a brief opportunity to work with you, I understand why you were so loved and respected by your family and colleagues. We'll all miss you. God's blessings upon you and your family.

Hi dad:
You are missed beyond any measure. You always gave more than 100 percent to everybody you met. Remember both of us came up with code words to describe our moods? Or, remember all the times we danced and sang Diana Ross songs in the living room? I will always remember how I would say "father" in a faux British tongue but you just couldn't pull off saying, "daugther". Oh, I loved our secret language. Our car rides to many states and just talking about love and life. You always made me feel like a million bucks.

From Father to Son
Oh Jeff, it is too short a time you had on this earth.
The wonderful day of your birth was August 10, 1957 in Allentown, PA. There was a cosmic clock at work because I was delayed from going to South Korea until you were born. This put in motion an urgency to come home to you and Mom. I applied and was accepted to the University of Maryland and granted an early release from the Army. We moved to College Park MD. In 4 years, your dad had a degree and you had 2 great brothers.
You were an adventurous rascal even at 5years old. You loved to play on a swing set. One night after a heavy snow storm you crawled out the window of our low cost basement apartment. We found you joyfully playing on the swing set in you pajamas.
You were an excellent student, played youth football, and came up just short of Eagle Scout. We were so proud of you. We were a skiing family with many memorable trips to NE, CO, UT. You liked to ride our dirt bike which planted the seed for your motorcycling in later life. I will cherish my last ride with you several months ago when you surprised us at our camp site in SC.
You went to Marshal High School in Falls Church VA, played in the band, played varsity tennis and graduated 7th in your class.
With no surprise, you were accepted into the University of Virginia. You graduated with honors in EE.
With a surprise, you choose to get married to Tami at graduation. You started your family and gave us two wonderful twin grandchildren, Joshua and Renee.
Jeff, you totally applied yourself to you family and your work. I can't say more than the wonderful words that were said in the tributes from family, friends and coworkers.
But you did play and you played well at golf.
We had many, many great days on the links with your brothers, Jonathan and Jason. I can't count all the mulligan's you gave us. I know you especial enjoyed our outings at our retirement home, at Hilton Head Island, SC.
One last bit of humor, Jason sent you an e-mail with a picture of President Obama in shirt sleeves in the oval office with the comment, "a good start." The good republican that you were replied, "At least not wearing a jacket in the oval office is better than not wearing pants like some other Democrat :)."
Next to my best friend, Bill Williams, You are the most generous person I know.
Oh Jeff, your kind, generous, loving heart just got so big it brook. I will miss you and love you with every breath of my life.
Dad

JB and family-I am sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I wish you all the best!

everyone here at Indigo Pines wish to extend to you our heartfelt sympathy. take care and God bless
Jim & Linda, Rich & Lori and Staff

Jeff,
You were a wise and wonderful friend. I enjoyed working with you, the conversations, and the challenges/puzzles we overcomed for the last 10 years. You always had a smile and infectious personality that induced many to emulate you. Your popularity was evident by people demanding to get into your classes, the brilliance in picking the right locations, sharing your restless spirit of discovery, and instilling all of us with excitement.
You will be missed.

Jeff
We grew up together and I will cherish this till I meet you again in Heaven. Jon & I will take care of Mom & Dad & Support your/our Family until we all meet again in Heaven. Rusty & Everyone did you Proud! You are always in my Prayers. Good Night Jeff.....I Love You. I Know You are Resting in Peace

Jeff:
You will be sadly missed. Even though you were several years old than myself, I will never forget how I thought that "Jeff Bennett" was really cool. With the beautiful words that I heard about you, you truly were the coolest older cousin. Thanks for the great memories. I will miss you. Mindy xoxox

I am sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Jeff for many years. We only really got to see each other face to face at CA World and no matter how deep he was in what he was doing he always had the time to catch up.
Day to day, Jeff's emails were the ones you took the time to read as they were the ones that explained everything, made sense, and above all had humour to boot. A straight up superstar, scholar, and a gent.
Deepest condolences to all Jeff's family and friends. He will be sorely missed.

To all the friends, family and colleagues of Jeff, Thank you so much for your donations, more importantly, thank you for all of your kind words, We the family are so touched and filled with gratitude. With your words, we know that the "public" Jeff, was just as kind, generous, gracious, compassionate, and most humble as the "private" Jeff we love ever so dearly, There is a huge void in our lives that will never be filled.

Jeff's Friends and Family.
Jeff was one of those who broke the mold, because he was a nice guy who finished first.
First in ability. All who knew him are aware of his expertise.
First in teamwork. He was always willing to share and solve the problem.
First in amount of gear. Jeff was invariably the guy with most amount of gear at a trade show. Cards, Readers, biometrics, etc.
Most of all, first in number of friends in business.
The Posse shall miss him.

Jeff,
May God Bless You as you have shared so much with so many people. Anyone that had a chance to meet you was truly blessed.
I would like to share a message that I received from one of Jeff's Customers at a Large Financial Institution in NY,
"You could tell that Jeff was an expert at his trade and he was a professional and a gentleman on top of it. No matter how much we challenged him, he was always the best. Heaven has gained another angel."
I don't think anyone could have summed it up better that this......
Take care my friend. You will always remain in my prayers and thoughts. Rest in Peace and God Bless.

Dear Jeff,
For the short time I had the privilege of working with you, I learnt so much from you and admired your skills, dedication and positive attitude. You were always kind and humble and took the time to mentor, and graciously answer the ton of questions I asked without making me feel like a loser for not knowing. You will be greatly missed. We are all praying for your family during this difficult time.

Jeff was my friend and mentor. I have always enjoyed the fun times together. From taking an airboat ride through the Everglades to having dinners at a local sushi place. I know he loved life. He loved his family, friends, his dog, his job, and his motorcycle.
I think he gave me the official title of his favorite P.I.T.A. I'm the guy who asked the stupid questions, while he was the dedicated teacher who continually taught. If I ever stop doing what I do for a living and forget all the technical stuff Jeff taught me, I will remember: "If you ever get into a difficult situation that you need to talk your way out of, just say 3 things:
'Huh?
What?
Oh, please...'!"
May God bless you Jeff Bennett.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family in this difficult time. As for you Jeff, thanks for all of the great friendship and memories from our high school and college days. From sports in our backyards, skiing at Seven Springs, umpiring little league games, zooming around in your VW beetle, fun nights in Georgetown, mudslides at UVA, etc... Your positive spirit lives on in all of us.

God called Jeff back much sooner than we planned, but we must brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand. My thoughts and prayers are with his soul and his family and friends.

Jeff was a true friend to everyone that he met and worked with. Everyone at CA will miss him dearly. My family's prayers will mention the health and well-being of Jeff's family in the future.
